York County Forever Commission to tap fund for $80,000 historic-resources survey after grant not filed
Summary
Commission staff reported that a federal grant application due May 7 was not submitted and that the York County Forever Fund will cover the full $80,000 cost of the county’s Historical Resources Survey Update.
At its May 19 meeting in Rock Hill, Trish DeHond, York County Open Space Planner, told the York County Forever Commission that a federal grant application due May 7 for the county’s Historical Resources Survey Update was not submitted and that the York County Forever Fund will be tapped to cover the $80,000 project cost.
DeHond distributed a York County Forever Fund spreadsheet showing the fund’s estimated balance through the end of fiscal year 2026–2027 and expenditures through the end of fiscal year 2025–2026. She explained that year-to-year variation in the value of a mil, millage appropriated, personnel costs and land‑conservation project expenses have changed the fund’s purchasing power since FY 2000–2001.
The minutes record the decision to use the York County Forever Fund for the HRSU; they do not record a separate formal vote on that specific funding allocation. The minutes do not include further details about project scope, a timeline for the survey, or whether staff will seek other grants in the future.
